   Food tastes good but portion sizes were ridiculously small. My wife and I each had a simple pasta dish and water and the bill was >$70.

   We enjoyed a pleasant lunch today. We started with the focaccia bianca. Good, but would have benefited with more rosemary. For entrees, I had the salsicciotta pizza, my wife the pollo alla Milanese, and her mother the Lo spaghetto al pomodoro. The pasta was good, as was my pizza. My wife was disappointed with her chicken. It didn’t look impressive either. We finished with a phenomenal tiramisu. I find it kind of a joke that they advertise this as tableside, considering all they did was remove a plastic wrap from the exterior holding the dessert in place. I don’t think they quite comprehend what tableside preparation means. Nevertheless, it was delicious! Service was adequate. Atmosphere beautifully laid out.

   This place is very overpriced. I have been trying to give it an opportunity but overall food is poor and service is not good for the price you pay. We ordered a steak priced at $55 USD, portion was very small and poorly cooked. Pizza is great but there are many other places around with great pizza and service. Will not come back.

   The food was good. The outdoor seating was really nice. They did have heaters if you got cold. Glad we were not inside just walking through very noisy. Our server knows the menu, he made suggestions and helped with the Italian words.

   The food is extremely good and fresh. No complaints, other than if you order the bruschetta, it's only one slice of bread with the toppings. It was delicious, but when we have ordered bruschetta in other restaurants, there are usually 4 pieces. There were 4 of us at the table and it would have been nice if we knew about this and we would have ordered more. The only serious complaint was with the server. He was very abrupt with us from the outset, before we even ordered anything. My friend ordered a margarita and asked if it could be blended. Her responded with a loud NO. My wife and I asked if we could have the truffles on half the pizza. His response, "we don't do that here". He later stated he could bring it on the side. When my wife and I started to eat the pizza, it was difficult separating the pieces because the slicing blade didn't cut all the way through the pizza. We asked him if he could get the pizza cut again and he questioned us if we were sure we needed it cut again. I think most servers would have said, "no problem, I'll be right back". But it was obvious he really didn't want to do it. He was friendlier when he brought us the bill. Like I said, the food is great, nice place, but this server was rude from the very beginning.

   I didn't like the service, the waiter Santiago didn't welcome us to the restaurant, he didn't recommend anything and he's in a hurry in his work. he just left the bill without saying anything, I didn't like it

   The steak was overcooked. The pasta was good. The calamari come with a lot of veggies. That’s good and bad. I paid for calamari not the veggies but it’s nice to have some veggies to change the texture and flavor.

   Ciao Lee, Thank you for your feedback! We're sorry to hear the steak was overcooked, as that’s certainly not the standard we aim for. We're glad you enjoyed the pasta, though! As for the calamari, we appreciate your thoughts on the veggies. We try to offer a balance of textures and flavors, but we completely understand that you’re there for the calamari, We’ll definitely take that into consideration moving forward. We truly value your feedback and would love another chance to provide a better experience next time. Please feel free to reach out to me if you'd like to discuss further. Grazie, Andres Chavarro Assistant General Manager of Restaurants
